The Audie Awards have been presented annually by the Audio Publisher’s Association [APA] to honor publishers with a crysal Audie statue — the only completed juried awards program covering audiobooks and spoken word entertainment. Over the years, both the structure of the awards, and the categories in which the awards have been presented have changed many times, as indicated by the varying categories below. Additional information about the Audies can be found at www.theaudies.com, including links to sample audio files from some of the recent winners. Although many of the individual Audie Award-winning recordings are not owned by the Lincoln City Libraries, those titles in this list which are “hotlinked” to the library’s catalog are currently owned by the Lincoln City Libraries. The remaining titles are provided for the sake of historical accuracy. Some of the recordings the libraries own may be in audiotape format, while others may be in CD format. Also, please keep in mind that this list is for the specific productions for the given years listed — the libraries may own alternate productions of some of these titles!

Past categories

The remaining Audie Award categories listed below have been used in past years, either once or several times, but have been phased out in favor of the categories listed above. Some of the categories below have been combined or broken down into categories above, such as “Children’s Titles” being turned into “Children’s Titles Ages up to 8” and “Children’s Titles Age 8 and Above”. They are provided here for historical context.
